Help creating a recital program book/several pages w/pictures and
I am creating a recital program book. It will be a 8 1/2 x 11 book with
pictures, text and advertising and it will be in color. Over the years others who have created this book have just simply used the "publications for print" and other sources and the book hasn't been all that great (only the pub for print pages were good). Since I will be working on it, I want it to be great! I was assuming when I began this project that there was something already set up to help me create a multi-page book, but I am not finding it. I need something that I can create similar to a yearbook or recital program book. Something that has multi-pages where I can create the ad's on these pages and when done, move on to the next page. I also need to be able to create multiple sizes on one page. For example, we have full page, 1/2 page, 1/4 page and 1/8 page available. Therefore, I will end up with having multiple requests for 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 page student good luck ad's. So I wonder is there any way I can pre-set up these sizes on one page as needed. Like one page w/two 1/2 sizes and one page with one 1/2 size and two 1/4 size, etc. I would also like to be a little creative on some of the pages instead of using all templates or pub for print. I've seen ad's in other program books that have a border around each picture as well as the ad side, so that you can see the size on each page. I think in all this as well I am assuming once I get the booklet set up w/multi-pages that once I am ready to print the originals that we will use to take to the printer it will print out in a way that each page will print out correctly so that they will be front and back in proper order to be put on 11 x 14 paper to create the final book. So any help that anyone can give would be greatly appreciated. |

Help creating a recital program book/several pages w/pictures and
Publisher should be able to do the job. You do have a printer that will
handle 11" x 17"? You mentioned 11 x 14; or, are you planning to use 8½x14? Select the page setup for a booklet and Publisher will add pages 4 at a time when wanting to increase the number of pages. A couple of tools you'll need are, a long arm stapler and a paper cutter. When you fold multiple sheets of paper to create the booklet, the center pages will extend farther out than the outer pages; the need for the paper cutter. As for the several ad sizes, just create your text boxes and image sizes to the sizes wanted. -- Don Vancouver, USA "okstout4" wrote in message ... I am creating a recital program book.

Help creating a recital program book/several pages w/pictures
Don, Thanks. Sounds simple enough and I will try it. I guess Im also
assuming that the program would also help me in placing stuff in the correct spots. I.e. in the center of the book would be a recital order listing. Over the years its been two pages and its in the center of the book. But in any case, I will work w/this and see how it works out. I'm also assuming that it will allow me to rearrange pages if needed? As far as the ad sizes, guess I could do that but Im wondering if that is really going to give me the correct size I need. In the past when Ive made things I just put whatever on a pre-created 1/2 page birthday card or 1/4 page multi-folded card. I will try anything though! To answer you question, no I dont have a printer that will support 11 x 17 paper (I thought it did and I could possibly get a feeder for it?). That's why when I do my final printouts I need them to be in the correct order so that they can be handed directly to the printer to be put onto 11x17 paper. They will probably do all they stapling, but I will tell the studio owner to have them (or I can) cut the edges because they haven't been doing that. I think if these are going to be handed out they need to look good. Any other suggestions for ad design I'd really appreciate from anyone.

Help creating a recital program book/several pages w/pictures
You'll probably be handing the printer a .pdf not a bunch of paper.
There's a lot more to doing what you want to then you think but Publisher can do it...I've done at least 20 theater programs in the past few years with Publisher and have had them printed professionally and they came out great. You'll need a friendly/helpful printer that doesn't mind helping a noobie :-)...this is key. One of the many things you will learn is that hardly anyone will provide you with finished artwork ("camera ready art") they'll be giving you mostly a bunch of junk and expect you to work miracles, so you will need an image editor software like Photoshop or some other program similar...you won't be able to do everything in Publisher.

Help creating a recital program book/several pages w/pictures
Thanks Rob! I did create a booklet like I was told earlier and its working
out pretty good so far. At this time I've only got one 1/2 page parent ad, one 1/2 page business ad, one 1/4 page parent ad and one 1/4 page business ad. I probably wont have more till Tuesday, so I can at least work on these and get some experience before I start doing more. I will also get the real photo's on Tuesday as well (Im using the same one right now for all ad's). Now, I am wanting to create a line to separate the ad sizes. For example, I used the line draw tool to draw a line at 5 1/2 " across my page to separate the top and bottom part of a 1/2 page ad. I am going to want to do this horizontally as well in the middle of my page for 1/4 ad's. When I first did this on page 4 it worked out beautifully, but when I tried to do it on page 5 it would not stop on the 5 1/2" mark. It was either top or bottom of it. So I started all over and drew the line thru both pages, but now its still not set at 5 1/2" across. Im going to want to do this to all pages that are not a full page. So first, is there a way to do this do get it perfectly at 5 1/2" and second is there anyway not to have to draw the line each time I do a page. Not only does this help me in setting each ad in its proper spot, but it makes the page look really good. I noticed that the pages are set at a default of 1" all around. What would be a good number to set the page up for a book so that it can be stapled in the middle of the book and not cut off the ad's? I did set it at 0.5", but I am not sure in reality if that's going to work. I also want to be sure I get as much ad space for each ad that I can get. I dont want my 1/4 spot to look like its less than 1/4 and I want any picture there to look good. I am also wanting to add watermarks, background stuff, boarders, or clip art to some ad's to bring them to life. Is there a way I can do that? I searched and searched and just could not find it. The business ad I got has a black lace background w/some blue frame boarders around photo's and a solid black bar w/white writing. It to too cute and I want to be able to do something like that on some. As far as "camera ready artwork", I've only gotten parents who wrote down what they want and I'm creating it. I will be getting original photo's on Tuesday and I will scan those into my computer. I do have one business who created their own ad and its simply beautiful. She is sending it to me via email in .jpg format for me to add to Publisher. You think that will work? It looks good as far as print view goes. All I did is save it to my desktop from Facebook, but shes going to email it to me anyways. I do have an older version of Photoshop, but its not installed on any of my computers. Hopefully, I wont need it. Thanks for all the help, its greatly appreciated! Tina "Rob Giordano [MS MVP]" wrote: You'll probably be handing the printer a .pdf not a bunch of paper.

Help creating a recital program book/several pages w/pictures
It doesn't really matter if your printer supports 11x17, as long as the
print shop can and has Publisher or if you have a way to convert to PDF first. Either way, just set up the publication for 11x17. You won't be able to print the booklet correctly, the print house can. -- James Bart: "According to creationism, there were no cavemen."

Like one page w/two 1/2 sizes and one page with one 1/2 size and two 1/4 size, etc. I would also like to be a little creative on some of the pages instead of using all templates or pub for print. I've seen ad's in other program books that have a border around each picture as well as the ad side, so that you can see the size on each page. I think in all this as well I am assuming once I get the booklet set up w/multi-pages that once I am ready to print the originals that we will use to take to the printer it will print out in a way that each page will print out correctly so that they will be front and back in proper order to be put on 11 x 14 paper to create the final book. So any help that anyone can give would be greatly appreciated. . |

Help creating a recital program book/several pages w/pictures
ok. So I need to set up to print on 11x17 paper now or set up the page for
11x17? Convert it all to PDF when finished? What program do I need to do that? What if the studio is going to want me to print this all out and give the copies to her? I think this is what she initially told me, because she asked if i can print in color. I have no clue who she is using to do this. Im guessing she will be taking the stuff to Kinko's. What about my prev question about drawing the lines around the ad sizes and setting margins for this book. Looking forward to anyone's help. Tina "Jaime" wrote: It doesn't really matter if your printer supports 11x17, as long as the print shop can and has Publisher or if you have a way to convert to PDF first. Either way, just set up the publication for 11x17. You won't be able to print the booklet correctly, the print house can. -- James Bart: "According to creationism, there were no cavemen."

Help creating a recital program book/several pages w/pictures
You certainly can put borders around each ad. If you want unique borders, create
your own in BorderArt (lines, more lines). I have put together many programs with lots of ads and lots of pages. Never used a template. There are free PDF converters around. If you want your recital book to be 11 x 8.5 and you don't have a printer that can print tabloid, then convert it to PDF. Most printers will print legal stock. 8.5 x 14. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "okstout4" wrote in message ... "Don Schmidt" wrote: Publisher should be able to do the job. You do have a printer that will handle 11" x 17"? You mentioned 11 x 14; or, are you planning to use 8½x14? Select the page setup for a booklet and Publisher will add pages 4 at a time when wanting to increase the number of pages. A couple of tools you'll need are, a long arm stapler and a paper cutter. When you fold multiple sheets of paper to create the booklet, the center pages will extend farther out than the outer pages; the need for the paper cutter. As for the several ad sizes, just create your text boxes and image sizes to the sizes wanted. -- Don Vancouver, USA "okstout4" wrote in message ... I am creating a recital program book. It will be a 8 1/2 x 11 book with pictures, text and advertising and it will be in color. Over the years others who have created this book have just simply used the "publications for print" and other sources and the book hasn't been all that great (only the pub for print pages were good). Since I will be working on it, I want it to be great! I was assuming when I began this project that there was something already set up to help me create a multi-page book, but I am not finding it. I need something that I can create similar to a yearbook or recital program book. Something that has multi-pages where I can create the ad's on these pages and when done, move on to the next page. I also need to be able to create multiple sizes on one page. For example, we have full page, 1/2 page, 1/4 page and 1/8 page available. Therefore, I will end up with having multiple requests for 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 page student good luck ad's. So I wonder is there any way I can pre-set up these sizes on one page as needed. Like one page w/two 1/2 sizes and one page with one 1/2 size and two 1/4 size, etc. I would also like to be a little creative on some of the pages instead of using all templates or pub for print.
